Most people get an hour for lunch if working a 9-5 job, which I do. When I want to get outside the office, I make sure to look for a restaurant with good food and also speedy service. I recommend taking a visit to C'est Bon in the Midtown neighbourhood that offers both!

I'm a big fan of noodles, so of course I love Udon! The chewy, bouncy and smooth texture of Udon noodles in a warm bowl of soup is the perfect way to warm up during the cold Canadian winter months, so when I heard that Bushi Udon Kappo make their noodles in-house, I had to try it for myself. It was also convenient that it is located right at Yonge & St. Clair, just a few blocks from my workplace.

I can't believe it's taken this long for me to eat at Swish by Han. I've been to their other location, OddSeoul, which I loved, so I had high expectations for the Han brothers' original restaurant in Toronto. With the launch of their new 2014 menu, it was the perfect excuse to visit. This posh and hip Korean Fushion Restaurant is located on Wellington, just between Yonge St. and Church St.

There's definitely no shortage on restaurant that offer tacos with their own twist. However, when you're looking for the real authentic El Salvadorian tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. there's one place you should head to, and that's Tacos El Asador - a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant located in Koreatown, at Bloor St. & Clinton.

I LOVE cookies whether it's baking or eating them :)! Sometimes it's hard to find a recipe that's a bit on the healthier side because most cookie recipes ask for a lot of butter. The following recipe has no butter and uses oil instead.

It’s a constant struggle deciding on where to go for Japanese
food. So many factors go into deciding whether it’s going to be all you can eat
or a one that only offers a la carte. My bottomless pit of a stomach wants to go for all you
can eat but you have to factor in that quality may be sacrificed for quantity. We finally decided to go to Dai Ichi – an a la
carte Japanese restaurant that has been in business for many years.

Exciting new flavours have hit the Yogurty's stores, just in time to celebrate the launch of the upcoming film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you love Yogurty's as much as us, you won't want to miss this chance to try the Super Hero, S.H.I.E.L.D. Swirl, or the Agent of Chocolate froyos in stores until the end of April.

Brampton is no stranger to Indian Cuisine and with so many choices, it can be difficult to find a good one. When we go out for Indian, we try to stay away from big name restaurants and franchises when there are so many little unique restaurants. Daal Rotiis highly rated and for good reason too!

It's that time of the year again - in just a week, it's Macaron Day! Since 2012, Toronto has joined other cities such as New York and Paris to celebrate the little confections in support a local charity. Macaron Day in Toronto will see 25% of macaron sales at participating shops proceed to The Red Door Family Shelter.

I'm sure many coffee-lovers in the city are already aware of the two Sam James Coffee Bar locations on Harbord and King St. It was a mere coincidence that on one afternoon, I happen walking on Bloor Steet (just had some Korean soondubu that day) that I saw this hidden gem called the Sam James Coffee Pocket! And, what a perfect name for this location.

With its blended entrance, dark interior and mysterious
atmosphere, D.W Alexander is reminiscent of an upscale British gentleman’s club.
Located at the corner of Church and Front, it is a mere 10 minute walk from
Union station and plentiful parking in the Downtown Distillery District.

A new izakaya that specializes in Yakitori (skewered & grilled chicken) just opened in Koreatown at Kinton Ramen 2's second floor location. This is KINKA family's newest restaurant addition in Toronto. They're best known for the ever-popular Guu izakaya, JaBistro, and Kinton Ramen. As a huge fan of skewered food, I couldn't wait to try it out. I made my way there for late dinner during their soft opening.

Korean BBQ is loved by everyone and there are so many places in the city that offers the tabletop grilling of the oh-so-popular marinated short ribs. At most of those places I find that, while the food is delicious, the beef lacks quality. That being said, when I want Korean BBQ for beef sirloin, I head to Sariwon Korean BBQ Restaurant!

Ever since our wine class last December (read review here), we've become big fans of what Toronto's iYellow Wine Club does - create a wine experience like no other for wine-lovers. This time around, we were invited back for their 'Muscadet & More' event, to discover France's hidden gems. I mean, who can say no to that?
